The Cold Therapy Collective is applying for funding to offer cold water therapy sessions across Scotland and we’d really value your input!

Help us make cold water therapy more accessible. Please take a few minutes to complete our short survey and help us evidence the real barriers people face when accessing cold water, as well as the need for funded, safety-led programmes. Your views could help us secure future funding and create more opportunities for people who might otherwise be unable to take part.

Thank you!
